1. If you haven’t decided on the name on your precious one yet, maybe it’s time to look at some baby naming site. Of all the websites that I have used, I like BabyNamesWorld the best because it contains most complete features such as search names by meaning.
2. If you haven’t done it already, register on babycenter.com. By providing your expected due date, you will receive personalized information/advices about your pregancy and about your baby week by week, right when the right time you need it. And trust me: after your baby is born, you will be more eager to see these weekly information!
3. Your doctor probably already told you to buy the prenatal vitamins. Personally I would recommend buying the Nature Made Multi Prenatal from Costco — $13 lasted me the entire 8 months.
4. Don’t buy expensive maternity clothes. You will out grow them very fast. I like to shop my maternity clothes at Target. They are cheap, reasonably high-quality, and very practical.
5. Register to get FREE baby product samples. I have received free diaper samples/coupons, free baby formula, free baby lotion, shampoo, pacifier…. you name it. You would appreciate me more if you know that even if you won’t ever use the free coupons, you can sell them on ebay.
To receive free Diapers Coupon/Samples,
Sign up For Pampers
Sign up For Huggies
To receive Free Formula Checks / Free small can of formula (very handy for the new born even if you plan to breastfeed)
Sign up For Similac
Sign up For Enfamil
Sign up For Good Start
Other than the websites, there are also a lot of chain stores which you can register and receive free gifts, such as Babies R Us and Motherhood Maternity. Next time when you do the shopping, don’t hesitate to ask your local stores if they offer a free baby welcome package

great article! learned a lot!
btw. i suggest moms to try different brand formula at the beginning.
it seems that each baby has their own favorite type for their digest system.
my friend’s baby like Good start, but mine behave the best with enfamil.
